- Abstract
The article discusses the draft written constitutions known as the Agreements of the People, spearheaded by the Levellers, a petitioner movement based in London, England, from 1647 to 1649. It explores the desire for freedoms reflected in the Agreements, including freedom of religious conscience, freedom from impressment, and legal equality. The author considers the role of the British New Model Army and debates over questions including the role of the monarchy and the Parliament's House of Lords.
